{/* MANUAL-CONTENT-START:intro */}
[Airtable](https://airtable.com/) is a powerful cloud-based platform that combines the functionality of a database with the simplicity of a spreadsheet. It allows users to create flexible databases for organizing, storing, and collaborating on information.

With Airtable, you can:

- **Create custom databases**: Build tailored solutions for project management, content calendars, inventory tracking, and more
- **Visualize data**: View your information as a grid, kanban board, calendar, or gallery
- **Automate workflows**: Set up triggers and actions to automate repetitive tasks
- **Integrate with other tools**: Connect with hundreds of other applications through native integrations and APIs

In Sim, the Airtable integration enables your agents to interact with your Airtable bases programmatically. This allows for seamless data operations like retrieving information, creating new records, and updating existing data - all within your agent workflows. Use Airtable as a dynamic data source or destination for your agents, enabling them to access and manipulate structured information as part of their decision-making and task execution processes.
